14 Canis Minoris is a B-type star located about 200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Canis Minor. It was discovered in 1897 and attracts the attention of astronomers due to its high brightness.
Key Features
- Apparent Magnitude: about -1.44, making it brighter than such well-known stars as Alpha Centauri and Sirius.
- Variable Star: The star belongs to the Betelgeuse type of variables, demonstrating periodic changes in brightness.
- Period of Variations: about 133 days.
- Amplitude: about 0.1 magnitude.
14 Canis Minoris emits significant amounts of ultraviolet radiation, which potentially affects nearby cosmic objects and hypothetical planetary systems.
Astronomical Significance
Studying this star is of great importance for understanding the evolution of massive stars. As one of the brightest stars of its class, 14 Canis Minoris helps scientists study processes occurring in the cores of stars, as well as the influence of mass and temperature on their life cycle.
Its intense ultraviolet radiation and variability provide a unique opportunity to study the physics of high-energy processes that are difficult to observe in less luminous stars.
Interesting Fact
Despite its brightness, 14 Canis Minoris is not widely known outside of professional astronomy. This emphasizes the importance of studying it to expand our knowledge of such objects and their role in cosmic processes.
